The mother of a missing 32-year-old man with mental troubles who was most recently living in Hemet is hoping he will check in with family or friends or that somebody will spot him on social media.

Dan Crowley called his mother, Patricia Crowley, on June 30 and said he was packing a bag of clothes and a backpack was leaving the King-Stone Sober Living facility and was not coming back, his mother said Friday, July 21.

She described her son as highly intelligent and a frequent blogger on social media about politics and human trafficking. But he last appeared on social media in early July, she said. He has not used his cell phone since then, she said.

In his most recent Twitter message, he suggested that he was headed to Manhattan, New York.

Patricia Crowley said she didn’t believe her son has the skills or resources to survive on the streets.

Crowley described her son as white, 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds with a shaved head who wears glasses and a dark-colored baseball cap. He was last seen wearing a solid-colored T-shirt and plaid shorts.

Dan Crowley suffers from schizophrenia and hears voices when off his medicine. Last summer, he said he believed he was from another planet and had traveled through time, she said.

“It’s a helpless feeling as a parent. I don’t know if he’s eating or sleeping or on the streets,” Crowley said.

Hemet police on Friday confirmed that they have received a missing person report on Crowley. Anyone who has information on Crowley can call Hemet police at 951-765-2400.
